NAZALI Attorney Partnership > Istanbul, Turkey > Firm Profile

Diversity

Since our establishment in 2014 we are committed to increase diversity at our offices in Turkey (İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Denizli), Netherlands/ Amsterdam, United Kingdom/ London, Ukraine/Kyiv, Russia/Moscow and Morocco/Casablanca which became a part of our Firm’s culture. In this aspect NAZALI always welcomes people with different age, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, social background, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin. Thus, none of these have any role on our decision-making mechanism during the course of recruitment and hiring process.

The main reason why we care much about diversity is that it strengthens the team and creates a synergy among them by the means of increase in communication and interaction between each other. As another outcome of this, we achieve to establish inspiring and supportive workplaces which also encourages personal and professional development of our people.

We believe in ourselves especially about gender diversity; More than 50% of our professionals and the administrative/partnership team are women, which proves our commitment. We also sustain projects on increasing active participation of women in business life and enhancing solidarity among women. Currently, we are supporting a project targeting “Women studying Law, Economy, Business Management”.

Last but not the least, we give chance to young legal trainees and law students by means of our internship programs. During their internship they can gain experience in different fields of law and discover their interests while we get inspired and are motivated from their eagerness and energy.

We need hardly tell that, as Nazali Attorney Partnership, we will keep supporting the diversity of our team and taking our teammates as we find them.
